Peering Through the Mist

While I am partial to the King James Version of 1 Corinthians 13:12, I also enjoy the way that Eugene Peterson phrases things in The Message: We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
